The development of instruments for computer based testing is significantly more expensive than traditional paper and pencil tests, however these costs must be seen in the light of benefits of more efficient implementation of the survey and the improved basis for adapting the test to the needs of individual countries and the further development of the test for possible subsequent surveys.

14. Stresses that it is of upmost importance to the EU to end the isolation of Member States and regions from the internal energy market, as demonstrated by the gas stress tests carried out by the Commission; calls on the Commission, in this regard, to carry out such tests regularly; is of the opinion that the EU should help those most vulnerable countries to diversify their sources and supply routes, as a matter of priority; calls on the Member States and the Commission, in this regard, to implement without delay the recommendations of the gas system stress tests; recommends that the Commission consider carrying out ‘electricity stress ...[+++]tests’ in order to build an overview of the resilience of the entire energy market situation; highlights that such stress tests should identify, in particular, the status, capacity and durability of the entire national transmission network, as well as the level of interconnection and cross-border capacity, and that subsequent recommendations, based on such stress tests, must include full impact assessments of both national plans and Union objectives in addressing any action points arising from these;

1. Takes note of the Commission communication on stress tests and their results, in the wake of the Fukushima accident; welcomes the efforts made by the Commission, especially through ENSREG, and by the national regulators to subject 145 reactors in the EU and 20 reactors outside the EU to a stress test procedure; emphasises the usefulness of this procedure and its character as an unprecedented exercise at world level; expects that the results of the stress tests will contribute to enhancing a nuclear safety culture in Europe, thus setting a leading example internationally; praises the efforts made to make the stress tests as transparent ...[+++] as possible;

The scope of these tests excludes tests already carried out at earlier stages: tests performed on the interoperability constituents and tests performed on the subsystem in a simulated environment shall be taken into account.

The scope of these tests excludes tests already done in previous steps: tests performed at the level of interoperability constituents and tests performed on the subsystem in a simulated environment shall be taken into account.

If one or more animals tested positive reveal the presence of antibodies to the EHD virus during confirmatory ELISA testing, the animal(s) shall be considered positive and shall be excluded from the group, and the whole group shall be subject to repeat testing beginning at least 21 days from the date of the initial positive diagnosis and again at least 21 days from the date of the repeat test, both with negative results.

Options for action following testing: animals tested positive to the test described in (a) shall be excluded from the group of animals in the quarantine facility and the other animals shall be re-tested starting at least 21 days from the date of the first positive test was performed: this shall be considered as the first test described in (b).
